The Falcons then rattled off four straight wins thanks to a couple of strong scores from Solberg who won 6-1, 6-3 and Kelly who won to the tune of 6-1, 6-2. Senior Elizabeth Carroll (Hartford, Wis.) gave the Falcons their fourth point on the scoreboard after winning 6-4, 6-2. Sophomore Emma Sievers (Slinger, Wis.) got the final and last needed match win for the Falcons with a score of 6-4 in both sets.
- The day was not done for Concordia Wisconsin, as they arrived in Fond Du Lac, Wis., to take on Marian. It was a close 9-8 doubles win from the pair of seniors Sabine Jacobsen (Palatine, Ill.) and Hannah Tresedder (Kingsford, Mich.), which gave the Falcons momentum going into singles play.
